engine break-in is 1200 miles. you're not supposed to go over 4000rpms.

a lot of 350 owners use zaino to keep their cars looking in showroom condition

as for aftermarket parts:
CAI: Injen or AEM (Nismo = AEM)
Exhaust: the Injen SES are pretty popular
Rims: volks are also ver popular
there's a lot of stuff out there for your car, just depends on what you modding it for.

and congrats on the z!!!

But I would stay away from waxing for the first 6 mos.
Also it is hard to get alot of HP from NA mods. The most effective sounds like Hi-Flow cats...for the buck.

Some believe that mods can make no difference at all until you remap your ECU.
Good luck and CONGRATS!
WELCOME!
